Face Recognition Using Bacteria Foraging Optimization-Based Selected Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Feature selection (FS) is a global optimization problem in machine learning, which reduces the number of features, removes irrelevant, noisy and redundant data, and results in acceptable recognition accuracy. This paper presents a novel feature selection algorithm based on Bacteria Foraging Optimization (BFO). The algorithm is applied to coefficients extracted by discrete cosine transforms (DCT). Evolution is driven by a fitness function defined in terms of maximizing the class separation (scatter index). Performance is evaluated using the ORL face database. KeywordsFace Recognition; Bacteria Foraging Optimization; DCT; Feature Selection.

متن کاملSelection of Wavelet Subbands Using Genetic Algorithm for Face Recognition
In this paper, a novel representation called the subband face is proposed for face recognition. The subband face is generated from selected subbands obtained using wavelet decomposition of the original face image. It is surmised that certain subbands contain information that is more significant for discriminating faces than other subbands. The problem of subband selection is cast as a combinato...

متن کاملA comprehensive experimental comparison of the aggregation techniques for face recognition
In face recognition, one of the most important problems to tackle is a large amount of data and the redundancy of information contained in facial images. There are numerous approaches attempting to reduce this redundancy. One of them is information aggregation based on the results of classifiers built on selected facial areas being the most salient regions from the point of view of classificati...
